I'm not sure that the air in 1940s England was any less polluted than it is today. Remember that there was far greater and more widespread use of coal at the time (trains, ships, residential and commercial heating, factories) than there is today.

Wasn't it in the 1950s that people died in London due to heating-coal smog lasting days?

I'm not saying it wasn't less polluted than today, I'm just suggesting that we shouldn't assume that it was just because we're talking about 60 years ago.

G.Wellum describes in detail the smog that he could see over London when flying over the city in his book. At least, I believe it was London, but it was no-doubt a city he was describing.

Quite right C_G, the Clean Air Act and the a change from using solid fuels to gas in 1970s means the air at lower levels in especially urban Britain is much cleaner than it was in the 1940s. Much of this black air would coat everything. Back in the , 70s, and 80s many old and historic buildings were cleaned. I still remember York Minster and the railway station there with their coating of industrial grime. Both were cleaned up in the 70s and 80s and have gone from brown and black to their natural stone colour. The Old Dart must of looked very grubby back when.

Great shots overal but i have to agree with Philip.ed. The trees could look better. As i understand the trees are not made in house, that may be the reason it takes longer to adjust.

The flight at 40 km - you nailed it Oleg & Co - absolutely jaw dropping. Can't wait to fly a U-2 up there.

I hope trees are not final yet. They spoil the terrain to me

After this game gets launched and you reload bank accounts, you guys need to buy all new MODERN rigs with 24' widescreen monitors .....

Oh, Protos...you are such a "card", you shuffle when you walk and you need to be dealt with (lol).
